Foundation, Wall, Roof and Transition Design
The building envelope consists of the foundation design which connects to the wall design which connects to the roof design. There are six sides to a building and all sides have connectivity and continuity in protection, insulation and performance.
When it comes to building performance, it is important to look at the building envelope as a whole and to understand the components involved and how they perform individually and as a system. Rather than design just the foundation and the wall and the roof we look to design the building envelope as a whole.
